-Figure 1: isa sfideV view of my improved counterstool extended.' x n Figure2 Vis a`.,front view of the same folded. lSimilar letters of reference indicate` corresponding 1part's.

, c `My invention hasfor its object' tofurnsh an im- -lprovfed folding counter-stool, which shall be simple in "construction, reliable and eiiicient in use, notliable. to get-out'of order,`and which, when nctin use, may be folded up close to the counter, so as to b efentirely out cftheway;audVV It consists in the folding stool, constructed andoperating as hereinafter more fully described.

` l,A represents the front of the counter, to which, at a little distance above the door, are securely hinged thelower ends of the two innerlegs B, the upper ends of which are hinged tothe underside of the stoolseat 0.x v i 4 To the `nuder sidev of the seat C is hinged the upper end of the third leg D. i

The lower part of the outer leg D is connected to .the upper parts of the two inner legs B by the counecting-rodsE, the e'ncls of which are pivoted-,to the y said legs B D.

The legs B'D, seat O, and rods E are so arranged that, when not required for` use, the stool may be folded up against the front of the counter, as shown in fig. 2, so as to he entirely out of the way.

` The seat C may be upholstered in any desired man ner. 4

To. the inner side of the upper endcf the leg D is attached a spring, F, which catches upon a perforated y plate, G, or other catch attached to the coun-ter A, to

hold rthe stool in position when folded.

The tool, as thus constructed, is strong and' sub stanti-al when extended for use, and, when folded up, lies close to the counter, so as` to be entirely out ot' the way, leaving the floor entirely unobstructed.

Having thus `described my'invention,

I. claim as' new andidesire to secure byLetters An improved folding counter'-stool, formed by the" combination of the hinged legs B,`seat O, 'hinged leg D, and brace-rods E with' each other, substantially as Aherein shown and described,- and for the purpose set forth.
